In most cases, it is not necessary to grease the starter before installing it. Starters are typically self-lubricating and do not require additional grease. However, there are a few exceptions. For example, some older starters may require a small amount of grease on the bendix gear. If you are unsure whether or not your starter needs to be greased, it is best to consult the manufacturer's instructions.
If you do need to grease the starter, be sure to use a high-quality grease that is specifically designed for use on starters. Applying too much grease can actually damage the starter, so it is important to use only a small amount.
